Title: Nissan prox4 vs Toyota Tacoma Trd off road
Post by: jdb on March 29, 2017, 05:43:45 PM: I'm looking at new pickups, I was convinced I had to have a Toyota Tacoma, but today I saw a Nissan Frontier that looked really good. Now I used to drive an xterra and loved it. Will I be just as happy with the Nissan? Is it as good a truck as the Toyota?

The nissan v-6 has been bomb proof in my experience. I sold my 88 Hardbody with over230K hard miles on it and still saw it driving around 10 years later. I sold my 96 Pathfinder last year with 215K on it and it is still going strong. Never an issue with either motor.
I now have a Fronter crew cab SV. All is good other than 15mpg (19 hwy) and the interior plastic (tan) scratches pretty easily.
I saved a ton by getting the SV vs the Pro and was able to add a bunch of accessories with the difference. A locker would have been nice in the snow last week, but still does real well.

Not sure the rush your in, but remember the Ranger is also coming back...I know every trip I've taken down to Central and South America, they are all over and great looking rigs. Plus we all know they get abused way more in those parts than they do here.
